To all whom z't may concern.'

Be it known that we, THOMAS J. FEGI'EY and GEORGE O. LEOPOLD, citizensof' the United States, and residents of' Philadel-L phia, county ofPhiladelphia, State of Pennj l l tion 9 of the vise, which carries thejaw sylvania, have invented. certain Improvements in Vises, ofy whichthe following is a specification.

Our inventionrelates to certain improvements in vises of the type knownas universal vises, i. e., capable of being secured to a bench and movedto different positions and secured in the position to which` they' areadjusted.

One object of 'our invention is to design a vise of this typeso that theparts can be accurately and cheaply manufactured and which will retainthe body portion of the vise `in any position to'which it is adjusted.

A further Object ofthe invention is tov provide a single wrench carriedby the vise and applicable either to the mechanism for holding thedevice horizontally, or for holding it against rotary motion.

The invention also relates to details which will be vfully describedhereinafter,l reference being had to the accompanying drawings, invwhich:

Figure 1 is aside view of a vise illustrating our'invention;

F Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2,-

Fig.73 is a detached perspective view of the adjustable carrier;

Fig. 4: is a plan view showing the wrench applied to the lower head, thesection being taken on the line Jr-4, Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 is a detached erspective view of the screw bolt for hol ing thebody portion to the carrier; and

Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the tubular bolt for holding thecarrier to the base.

Referring to the drawings, 2 is a base preferably secured to a bench inany suitable manner by hooks, or other fastenings, and projecting fromthe base are two uprights 3 having cylindrical openings therein for thereception of a round bar 4, which forms a trunnion for a carrier 5. Thisbar is rigidly secured to the uprights by pins 6, clearly shown indotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2. The carrier 5 is made as shown in Fig. 3and has two jaws 7 and 8 spaced apart and arranged to be drawn togetherby a bolt so asv to cause the carrier to be clamped firmly to the lbar4L after it is adjusted in a given position.

Mounted on the 'carrier is the body porflange 12`adapted to a recess inthe jaw 8 of' the carrier." yOn turning the bolt in one direction, thejaws of carrier are drawnv toward each other so as to clamp the carrierfirmly to the bar, and, on the reverse movement, the jaws are separated.Y

`Extending through the tubular bolt is a bolt 13 having a shoulder 14'bearing against a hardened washer 24 at the reduced portion ofthe jaw 7of the carrier 5, and on 'the reduced portion 15 of theE bolt is a screwthread adapted to a threaded opening in a nu`t-`16 having'a taperedperiphery adapted to a tapered opening 17 in the body 9. The nut 16 hasan elongated extension 18 adapted to an opening 19 in the upper portionof the carrier 5, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the nut will not turnindependently of the carrier when the body portion is turned. The lowerend of the bolt 13 is enlarged, as at 20, and on this extension is ahexagonal head 2l of the same size as the head 11 of the bolt 10. 22 isa flange on the head, which prevents the wrench 23 from being disengagedfrom the bolt 20. The wrench 23 has a hexagonal opening which is adaptedeither to the head 11 or to the head 21. The reduced portion 20 of thebolt allows for the free movement of the wrench into either of the twopositions.

By the construction, as above described, the carrier can be turned onthe bar so that the device will assume any position desired, and thebody portion 9 can be turned horizontally on the carrier so that it willassume any position desired. The two parts can be locked on turning thetwo screws by the single wrench 23.

Mounted on the body portion 9 is the vise proper consisting of a fixedjaw `25 and a movahlejaw 263 This movable jawhas a base 27adapted^ftorest onrthe'fbody 9 land'E hasv an extension 28 through which'passes'the c1ampnggsorewaf29,A provided'V at 'ones,eI1o'l.- 5 withl azloosely.;mounted bar 30: fbyywhich 'fit is turned. This screw 29 is attached tothe Xed jaw 25 so that on turning the Screwf' the jaw 26 is moved towardor from the jawin 25.
